The Tour Partly concealed by a high brick wall, the house is slightly set back from the road.

Its characterful frontage, which has two sash windows and playful porthole-style glazing, hints at the brightness and soaring ceilings within.

Entry is to the Neptune kitchen, a beautifully transformed space with L-shaped navy-blue cabinetry, Neff appliances and a Quooker tap.

Bead-and-butt panelling runs behind the kitchen units, with refined Där light fittings. In front of the kitchen is a generous space for a dining table and chairs.

Fine oiled engineered oak floorboards ground underfoot, and painted timbers frame above.

Next to the kitchen, revealed by concertina doors, is a separate living room, with a high window and the same taupe walls as the kitchen.

The corridor leads through to the bedroom, a sublime space with a tall pitched roof studded with skylights. White-painted exposed timbers run above, and off-white walls amplify the room’s brightness.

An en suite adjoins, with marble tiles, Burlington fixtures, and a large walk-in shower.

The home was recently transformed, with new wiring, plumbing, heating, thermal upgrades, including trimless spotlights throughout and roof restoration in Welsh slate.

Outdoor Space At the front of the house is a compact Limestone-grounded space with room for a table and chairs and potted plants.

South-facing, it receives a wonderful quality of natural light day-long and is illuminated with atmospheric lighting at night.

The Area Deal is a perennially popular coastal town known as one of the most attractive in Kent.

Its stretch of coastline is famed for its striking concrete-and-steel mid-century pier and a popular architect-designed café at its end.

Popular dining spots include The Rose hotel, known for its excellent bar and food, and its sister restaurant, The Blue Pelican.

Merchant of Relish, The Black Pig and Jenkins and Sons are the go-to for groceries, meat and fish, respectively. For more local produce, there is also a fantastic Saturday farmers’ market.

As far as homeware shops are concerned, Dunlin and Diver, Will and Yates, and Mileage are among some of the finest; there are also several well-known art galleries.

Trains run from Deal station to London St Pancras in under 90 minutes. Services also connect to Kent’s other popular seaside towns, including Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate.

The A2 is also easily reached by car for travel into the capital, and the Eurotunnel at Folkestone just 25 minutes away making access to the continent especially convenient. Council Tax Band: Tbc
